Vikings' McKinnie arrested

---

Miami, FL (Sports Network) - Minnesota Vikings left tackle Bryant McKinnie was arrested early Sunday after a fight outside a Miami nightclub, according to the Miami Herald.

The newspaper reported that McKinnie, 28, was involved in a large street brawl outside Club Space and was charged with aggravated battery, disorderly conduct and resisting arrest without violence.

Police said they went to the club to quell a fight and when they arrived, found McKinnie being thrown out of the nightclub by a security guard. Outside, McKinnie then allegedly spit on the patron he was arguing with and yelled obscenities at the man.

The unidentified man told the officers he would not press charges, if McKinnie left and the officer then observed McKinnie entering the nearby Gold Rush, a strip club.

Hours later, the officers were called again by a parking attendant reporting a large fight.

McKinnie had returned to the club and was fighting with the man. At that point, he was arrested and eventually released on bond.
